Let’s talk about your Liver Written by Dr Harold Gunatillake-Health writer There is only one liver hidden under the diaphragm occupying the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity. Safeguarding this organ is essential for good health. Food when digested is absorbed into a separate venous blood stream called the ‘Portal Veins’ These veins carry the digested foods into the liver, which includes carbs as glucose and proteins as amino-acids.. Fats and fat soluble vitamins enter the lymphatic system and then enter the veins for metabolic processes on a different pathway. ...

Read More →Let’s talk about Cheese, today Written by Dr harold Gunatillake FRCS – Health writer Nomads in the Middle East and Central Asia carried milk in containers made from animal stomachs, when bottles were unheard of then. When on the move the milk got curdled due to an enzyme called rennet remaining in those stomachs which separated the milk into curds and whey. This was an accidental discovery. There are murals in Egyptian tombs showing the way cheese was made, then. Sri Lankans don’t traditionally use cheese in their curries. It is too expensive and that would be the main reason why it’s not included in the Asian cuisine. If you cook with cheese, you can use it straight from the fridge in the frozen state. If it is used as an appetiser or to settle your stomach after a heavy meal, it is best to serve at room temperature. Soft ...

Read More →” COUNTRY-STYLE “ I’ve said it before, & I’ll say it again, as far as “telling it like it is”, there will never be ANYTHING like “Country Music”. Good or bad, happy or sad, “Country” tells us the “Story of Life”, like no other music can do. This is the reason that, although I LOVE all types of music, my “forte” is “COUNTRY-STYLE”. There are many kinds of music And some “last” for just a while Now & then, there’ll be a new “beat” But I just sit back & smile For when the latest “craze” is over When it’s run it’s last long mile They’ll still play “our kind of music” Good old “Country-Style” Good old “Country Music”, fiddles & guitars A good old Country “hoedown” underneath the stars Nothing can replace it, walk down a Country aisle Good old “Country Music”, good old “Country-Style”. Once AGAIN we’ll hear ...
Read More →Portuguese & Dutch Influences On The Modern Sinhala Language by Aysha Maryam Cassim From the 16th century onwards, the European colonial powers made a significant cultural impact on many aspects of Sri Lankan culture. Modern Sinhala was influenced immensely by its contact with three European languages, the languages of the colonisers: Portuguese, Dutch, and English. Prior to the Colonial invasions, Ceylon’s strategic location at the southernmost part of the sea routes that connected Asia with the Mediterranean Sea brought in many Arab, Persian, and Indian sailors and merchants. They left an indelible cultural imprint on the country by changing the social, cultural, political, economic, and linguistic outlooks of the country. Abraham Mendis Gunasekara, in his Comprehensive Grammar of the Sinhalese Language (1891) enumerates approximately 400 loan words from Tamil, 231 from Portuguese, 112 from Dutch, and 76 from English. Sannasgala (1976: p. 87) stated that most of the Sinhala words ...

Taking off down the road, he pushed it to 120 kph, enjoying the power of the car . “Amazing,” he thought as he flew down the M1, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a highway patrol car, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 140 kph, then 180kph, then suddenly he thought, “What am I doing? I’m too old for this!” and pulled over to await the copper’s arrival. Pulling in behind him, the copper got out of his vehicle and walked up to the car. He looked at his watch, then said, “Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a new reason for speeding – a reason I’ve never before heard ...
